Since taking office in January, Trump's net worth has increased by nearly $3 billion thanks to his family-branded cryptocurrencies being purchased by foreign governments and businesses. He accepted a Boeing 747 as a "gift" from the government of Qatar, and has issued pardons to people who paid $1 million to attend a fundraiser dinner. David French explains why the Constitution's prohibition against foreign gifts is being ignored, and why Trump's shameless corruption has been met with silence by journalists and politicians.  French and Skye Jethani also discuss why Trump's evangelical supporters don't care about his corruption, and how celebrity pastors and the Prosperity Gospel prepared them to accept the President's behavior as acceptable. Then, they discuss the case before the Supreme Court seeking to allow religious charter schools to receive public funding. French and Jethani examine the pros and cons of school choice and why Christians may want to reconsider accepting tax dollars for religious education.

My son with a disability was turned away from charter schools. Really, the only choice that was to be had for him was in public school. If the funds are disbursed to everyone, but the charter and private schools can turn kids away, that means the kids who often need the most are all left for the public school and then lack funds for the structures needed to educate them appropriately.

I’m a little late to this conversation, but it seems that much of this thread focuses on the blind spot Mr. French seems to have in the area of school vouchers and how it negatively impacts children with IEP‘s who are protected by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the mandated funds for which have never been fully appropriated by Congress in 50 years. In all of the public statements Mr. French has made touting school vouchers, I have never heard a satisfying response from him about this. I would be interested to hear his response to this concern.
